Yes, they can be wonderful pets (Like All Rabbits). However one thing to keep in mind when you are getting one, Netherland Dwarf are the smallest and most skittish of all breeds, meaning that without proper care they can become nasty biters and total hermits. They need extra handling and love each day so that they get used to the affection. Eventually they will become one of the most playful and wonderful little creatures you could ever own.
Two points to make here:
1. Rabbits of all kinds feel most comfortable on the ground, which means for the first while just hang out around them, pet them a little, and be passive.
2. Once your a few weeks into owning your bunny and it is a little more used to you, start picking it up and carrying it each day for 10-20 minutes. They may not like it at first, but with enough repetition they will realize this is a protected and safe place to be.
I'd suggest reading up on how to pick them up, how to feed them, and how to housetrain them as well.
Oh and one final note, if your able to, get a second rabbit
(Both should be fixed of course to prevent spraying)
With a partner the little guy/gal will be much less destructive and much
more happy (Hoppy?)

Go online and search "dwarf bunnies in North Carolina". You will get links to breeders and shelters. If you want a show bunny, arba.net has a list of breeders in each state. The breeders would also probably heve pet quality rabbits for sale. If you just want a pet, I STRONGLY recommend going to a shelter or contacting a local rabbit rescue. They might have a few dwarf bunnies or dwarf mixes. You can also go to a show to find show or pet quality dwarf bunnies for sale. arba.net also has a complete show listing.
Yes, if a lop rabbit mates with a dwarf rabbit, their offspring may inherit characteristics from both parents, such as lop ears from the lop parent and small size from the dwarf parent. It is possible for the bunnies to have lop ears, but it is not guaranteed as it depends on the specific genetic traits passed down.
Yes, pet shops often carry bunnies for sale as pets. Additionally, local animal shelters or rescue organizations may also have bunnies available for adoption.
Yes, dwarf bunnies can eat lettuce and leafy greens as part of their diet. However, it's important to introduce these foods slowly to prevent digestive issues and to ensure they are washed thoroughly to remove any pesticides or chemicals. Offer a variety of leafy greens to provide a balanced diet for your dwarf bunny.
